Felix Award for Best Tear Jerker

Gus: Shawn, it's not time for that award yet.

Shawn: Sorry, must've had a cross in the wiring for a moment there.

Gus: Besides, that was a really stupid 'cliffhanger'.

Shawn: I'd like to see you do better.

*Meanwhile, during this presentation, Tony pulls Nick backstage to interview him. Unfortunately, someone forgot to turn off his mic.*

Nick: I didn't do nothin'. I swear!

Tony: Relax, Mr. Carter. Nobody said you did.

Nick: How come you're interviewing me...?

Tony: Who says we're interviewing you? *sits down at the table and begins playing Tetris on his cell phone.*

Nick: So...you're not actually going to ask me any questions?

*Tony shrugs and continues playing his game.*

*Nick pulls out his phone and starts playing a game as well.*

Tim (to Ziva): Doesn't look like Tony's usual tactic is having an affect...

Ziva *sighs and approaches*: Good evening Mr. Carter. Are you comfortable?

Nick: Yeah. Thanks.

Ziva: Not uneasy at all?

Nick: I...wasn't. Should I be?

Ziva: I don't know. Is anything bothering you?

*Nick shifts uncomfortably.*

Tony: So there is something bothering you?

Nick: Well...yeah, now that you mention it. I...it's all these authors...

Ziva: What about them?

Nick: It's just that...they're great and all, but it seems like I'm always...I'm always getting abused by my mother, by Lou, by my girlfriends, or boyfriends, or...Kevin, or I get sick, like with that appendix thingie or cancer or I get all drug-addicted, or Brian's heart gives out and he dies, or my girlfriend gets killed or one of the other guys dies or...*breaks down into tears*

Tony: Good going, Ziva, you broke him...

Ziva: I think that the fanfic writers do a pretty good job of that...

*Onstage*

Brian: They sure do.

Howie: Too good a job sometimes...*winks*

Shawn: The Felix for Best Tear-Jerker goes to:

with runner up

Erin (aka Frick24x): I would like to thank my mom, my dad, my dog, my cat, my college roommate, Bill Gates for creating Microsoft and Al Gore for creating the Internet.

On a more serious note, I would like to thank those that nominated Illusions of Deceit for this Felix Award tonight. It was my first bout back into fan fiction after a seriously long hiatus. I would also like to thank anyone that took the time to review and/or read Illusions.

Howie: Thank you, Erin!
